thank you so much for being with us, senator. let me start with exactly where you are, which is ohio. obviously this is the place to be in the final days of the campaign. what we had on friday was a jobs report showing strengthening in the number of hires. we had an increase in consumer confidence. you have in ohio a jobless rate that is better than the nationwide jobless rate and you have an auto bailout that the president put in place that's highly popular. what is it in this state that makes you think that president romney, sorry, governor romney can overcome those particular statistics and field the voters? >> i like your freudian slip on president romney. that sounded good. look, ohio's economy is not doing well, people don't feel it is doing well. our wrong track numbers polled constantly are as bad as the rest of the country. i think the jobs numbers last week were really disappointing. i heard rahm emanuel bragging on them too. it showed the unemployment number going up, not down. in fact, unemployment is higher today tha
